DT Given All-American
The Daily Trojan received notification yesterday that it had again been rated “All-American” in the nation-wide rating made each semester by the Associated Collegiate Press, at the University of Minnesota. The rating was for the spring semester, 1948.
A total of 1000 points was given the DT, out of a possible 1055. Scoring includes such things as news writing and coverage, headlines and makeup, and special pages and features. A rating of excellent was given on all points, with special commendation for news coverage, creativeness, and treatment; news features; frontpage makeup; and style and typography.
Among criticisms of the DT were failure to follow up advance stories, such as lectures; too many items without general news value; too much publicity on the
spring varsity show; inaccurate headlines; and poor placement of “boxes.”
In making the ratings the ACP takes into consideration the type and enrollment of the school, frequency of issue of the paper, and method of publication. Purpose of the scoring is to help school publications—newspapers, magazines, and yearbooks—improve the quality of their work. The organization scores school papers throughout the country every semester and classifies each into one of five ratings, of which “All-American” is the top.
The DT has won this rating consistently for the past 10 years and was given the Pacemaker award twice, in 1944-45 and 1945-46. The latter award is made each year to the highest quality collegiate papers in the country.

He was in the hearing room for two hours and 40 minutes. On leaving, the admitted that the congressmen “persuaded” him to talk.

Britain Girds For Battle
LONDON, Sept. 14.—(U.E)—The grave state of the world has forced Great Britain to delay demobilization, step up recruiting, improve civilian defenses ana double the output of fighter planes, Herbert Morrison, lord president of the j council, told a startled commons j today.
Speaking for Prime Minister Attlee, who is ill, Morrison said the government had “no choice but to take certain precautionary measures.” But, he added, there was no cause for panic.
Morrison said all servicemen would be held three months beyond their scheduled release dates, which will add 80,030 men to the strength that had been planned for the armed forces for the end of the year. Conscripts will serve 15 months instead of 12. In addition to these measures, a stepped-up recruiting campaign will be anned at bringing the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force volunteer reserves to full strength.
Simultaneously, Britain will detail additional manpower to overhaul wartime equipment, expand the armed forces supply system and recondition old types of fighter planes, Morrison added.
Morrison gave no figure on fighter plane production but the double output will include reconditioned planes.
lines?
An attempt is being made to solve this dilemma with the inauguration of a textbook exchange for veterans, handled by the Trovet organization.
Veterans in possession of old textbooks used in the past, and as yet unable to obtain books for the current semester, are urged by Trovet President Bob Padgett to visit the exchange office, 300C Student Union, immediately. There they will find file cards on which to list books they need and those they wish to sell, trade of borrow.
This service has been adopted to ease the plight of the veteran who finds himself dangerously close to overdrawing his GI allowances. Vets will lose credit for future VA expenditures if they exceed the $500 per year allotted them.
Textbook exchange committee members are available in the Trovet office daily to assist any veteran in obtaining books. Office hours are from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Indians Push Toward Coal
NEW DELHI, Sept. 14.—«U.B—Indian armored divisions with strong air support today battered their way against fierce resistance to within two days’ march of Secunderabad, their announced objective in the two-day-old war against the wealthy Nizam of Hyderabad.
Official dispatches from the northwestern, western and southeastern fronts admitted that Nizam's army and Moslem volunteers were putting up a stiff fight, but major victories were claimed in the northwest and west.
On the northwestern front, Indian troops captured Jalna, a rail town near the Indian border, cutting off Aurangabad, Hyderbad’s second city, from the rest of the state.

Britain Girds For Battle
LONDON, Sept. 14.—(U.E)—The grave state of the world has forced Great Britain to delay demobilization, step up recruiting, improve civilian defenses ana double the output of fighter planes, Herbert Morrison, lord president of the j council, told a startled commons j today.
Speaking for Prime Minister Attlee, who is ill, Morrison said the government had “no choice but to take certain precautionary measures.” But, he added, there was no cause for panic.
Morrison said all servicemen would be held three months beyond their scheduled release dates, which will add 80,030 men to the strength that had been planned for the armed forces for the end of the year. Conscripts will serve 15 months instead of 12. In addition to these measures, a stepped-up recruiting campaign will be anned at bringing the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force volunteer reserves to full strength.
Simultaneously, Britain will detail additional manpower to overhaul wartime equipment, expand the armed forces supply system and recondition old types of fighter planes, Morrison added.
Morrison gave no figure on fighter plane production but the double output will include reconditioned planes.
lines?
An attempt is being made to solve this dilemma with the inauguration of a textbook exchange for veterans, handled by the Trovet organization.
Veterans in possession of old textbooks used in the past, and as yet unable to obtain books for the current semester, are urged by Trovet President Bob Padgett to visit the exchange office, 300C Student Union, immediately. There they will find file cards on which to list books they need and those they wish to sell, trade of borrow.
This service has been adopted to ease the plight of the veteran who finds himself dangerously close to overdrawing his GI allowances. Vets will lose credit for future VA expenditures if they exceed the $500 per year allotted them.
Textbook exchange committee members are available in the Trovet office daily to assist any veteran in obtaining books. Office hours are from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
